What color is Sherwin Williams Favorite Jeans?

Sherwin Williams Favorite Jeans SW 9147 is a softened blue-gray with a muted, lightly weathered appearance. Its medium-light depth keeps it present on the wall without becoming overly dark, while the gray influence reins in the blue and gives it a calm, grounded look. In bright daylight, Favorite Jeans can read as a clearer dusty blue; under warmer lamps, it may take on a quieter, more gray-leaning cast. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, mudrooms, or built-in cabinetry, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and charcoal accents. Pair this shade with warm off-whites and natural woven textures to keep the room from feeling too cool.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 34.62%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
